CONGRATULATIONS! Dear Fellow Knight, Congratulations on your offer of admission to the University of Central Florida (UCF). The Office of Student Financial Assistance (SFA) is pleased to provide you with your financial aid award notification. Your financial aid award notification is based upon your eligibility and the availability of funds at the time of awarding. Understanding all federal, state, and institutional guidelines for financial aid programs can be challenging. This Award Guide is designed to assist you with the financial aid process and answer questions you may have regarding your aid eligibility. We suggest you read this guide carefully and use it as a reference during the academic year. Our office does not include Parent PLUS Loans as part of the initial financial aid award notification. Parents who wish to apply for a Parent PLUS loan may do so no earlier than July 1 for the fall 2018 term. Please visit our website www.finaid.ucf.edu for additional information about financial aid programs. If you have questions after reviewing your financial aid award notification and the information provided in this guide, you may contact us at 407-823-2827 or via email at finaid@ucf.edu. Sincerely,
Alicia Keaton Director Office of Student Financial Assistance
